One Step Ahead

"So what do we do now?" Alex looked at me. 

"Why are you looking at me?" I asked. 

"What? You stopped Lily so I assumed you thought of something… or am I wrong?" He seemed confused. 

"It's true that we have to talk with her but the one moment she leaves her house is when she goes to a dangerous place and if we were to kidnap her on the way that wouldn't end well." 

"Why? Wouldn't that solve the problem all together? We took her in the car and then we can have a talk with her easily with no distractions!" Alex said with a confident look. 

"Tell me, do you happen to have a big garage where we can keep her?" I asked. 

"What's that supposed to mean?" 

"Please don't tell me you thought she would be quiet about that, would you? She might accuse us of kidnapping and eventually be jailed."

"Ahh…" 

"Anyway for now let's just leave since we got no lead to move into. What's the next time she leaves her house?" I asked Lily.
